Another little-known Cloudflare tip is to use their Argo product's TryCloudflare feature when you want to open a localhost port to the world for experiments, demos.

It enables painless NAT traversal like ngrok, with the added benefit of Cloudflare's network acceleration and security.

Nice! FWIW, it doesn't seem to support streaming, so large payloads can take a while (as the entire request needs to be returned to cloudflare, and only then does argo send the response payload back to the client, so you get a double-latency hit).
I definitely recommend anyone check out Argo. I use it in production and it's great.
